Question: what is the happiest musical instrument?
I donโt think a guitar is particularly happy. By itself, it generates awe, not joy. What about the drums? The drums make me move, but I donโt know if they make me happy. I suppose one could pick esoteric instruments like the banjo or the tin whistle, they're certainly happy instruments, but they have limited use.
The answer is, undoubtedly, the #piano. As evidence, I offer you #ProfessorLonghair (๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ข๐ฟ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ป๐ ๐ฃ๐ถ๐ฎ๐ป๐ผ, #222). (cont). #music
